So much pain up in da field I need some damage control
All my life man I been po' but it dont matter no mo'
Flirtin wit death all em nights we use to stand at da sto'
Use to runnin from them cops it made my stamina grow
Da homies ridin after dark they tryna snatch up a soul
Cuz all we eva did to cope was take da blammer da blow
Said that everything that I be spitin really factuals though
So if I pull up with this drake it ain't from Canada doe

Comin up outta ma city it was poverty stricken
Chances of makin it out was like a lottery ticket
I was dancin wit them demons I thank god dat im livin
N***as shootin up da crib it had ma mama and dem tripin
N***a das on god its no type of facade what im spitin
Don′t hit dat liquor store cuz we don't get along wit dem n***as
Since ma daddy died it feel Issa part of me missin
A real n***a in ma blood its in my arteries livin
Neva did no fuc shit and got da playin da victim
Das dat sucka shit ma n***a ain't no way I could feel em
Remember nights we ain't have no lights at da house
Mama stressin cuz they tryna raise da price at da house
Went to stay wit all my cousins but dey struggling to
Still they took a n***a in foreva love em I do
Ma big homie ace taught me how da thug wit ma tool
See all da struggles and pain it made me love what I do

So much pain up in da field I need some damage control
All my life man I been po' but it dont matter no mo'
Flirtin wit death all em nights we use to stand at da sto'
Use to runnin from them cops it made my stamina grow
Da homies ridin after dark they tryna snatch up a soul
Cuz all we eva did to cope was take da blammer da blow
Said that everything that I be spitin really factuals though
So if I pull up with this drake it ain't from Canada doe

I finally had put myself in da position to win
Too many fallen a victim to da condition we in
Navigatin through da hate is da ambition of men
Make it hard to see who wit you through the thick and the thin
I know some steppas doin life they got sent to da box
Hit a n***a up in his top watch his temperature drop
For dey homie up in da sky cuz dey neva forgot
Den got da pushin outta town cuz da set it was hot
Another week another candle light on the corner
After time you grow a custom drivin by like its normal
I can′t neva let no goofy shit fuc wit ma moral
Do yo shit young n***a keep on fuckin da score up
Streets love me the only validation I need
Away from bull shit da only separation I see
In da lab crazy only meditation I seek
In ma bag baby das the once place that I be
So much pain up in da field I need some damage control
All my life man I been po' but it dont matter no mo'
Flirtin wit death all em nights we use to stand at da sto'
Use to runnin from them cops it made my stamina grow
Da homies ridin after dark they tryna snatch up a soul
Cuz all we eva did to cope was take da blammer da blow
Said that everything that I be spitin really factuals though
So if I pull up with this drake it ain't from Canada doe
